Toxicity Data
for Hazardous Ingredients
Sodium Azide Oral LD50 Rat: 27 mg/kg; Oral LD50 Mouse: 27 mg/kg; Dermal LD50 Rabbit:
20 mg/kg
Primary Routes Common routes of entry include inhalation, ingestion and eye/skin contact. Speci铿乧
of Exposure paths of concern for potentially infectious materials are skin puncture, contact with
broken skin, contact with mucous membranes and inhalation of aerosolized material.
Potential Effects of This product contains material of animal origin and should be considered as
Acute Exposure potentially capable of transmitting infectious diseases.
Although its concentration in this product is low, sodium azide is highly toxic by
ingestion and skin absorption. Overexposure may result in irritation of skin, eyes and
mucous membranes, lowered blood pressure and irregular heartbeat. Sodium azide
is a chemical asphyxiant and may effect the cardiovascular, respiratory and central
nervous systems. Symptoms may include irritation, severe, pounding headaches,
dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat,
convulsions, collapse and death.
Potential Effects of Prolonged or repeated exposure to sodium azide may result in pounding headaches,
Chronic Exposure eye and nose irritation, low blood pressure, fatigue and dizziness.
Symptoms of Symptoms of overexposure may include: eye, skin, nose and throat irritation;
Overexposure headache, weakness, dizziness, confusion, nausea and vomiting. Severe cases
may exhibit dif铿乧ulty in breathing, irregular heartbeat, reddish colored skin,
unconsciousness, convulsions, coma and death. Symptoms may be delayed for
several hours after exposure.
Carcinogenicity No ingredients in this product are listed as carcinogens by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, OSHA
or 67/548/EEC Annex I.
Other Effects Reproductive effects have been reported in animal studies.
